Did you bring your Bible tonight?

If you didn't, the ushers have extra Bibles.

Raise your hand high.

If you didn't bring a Bible tonight, they'll be glad to let you use one of ours.

And let's go to 2nd Peter the third chapter, 2nd Peter 3.

I was going to teach on this, was it two weeks ago, and couldn't even read the text.

We wound up with something else.

So we'll see how it goes tonight.

But it is good.

I believe you need to get this at some point, so maybe we'll just keep on until we get it.

I know when I first started preaching and teaching, the Lord had direct me different than

how I had thought and prepared.

And I'd say, well, this is not my message, but, and I'd spend 30 minutes on it.

Well, this is not my message, but this is not my, I must have said that. I reckon I said

it so many times that the Lord got tired of hearing it. Because one day I said that, and while

I'm speaking, he spoke to my heart. I don't mean to heard a voice, but inside me. He said, son,

if I say that's your message, that's your message. I thought, right.

Yes, sir.

So even though, and this is not just for preachers, even though we prepare, don't be stuck

to your plan.

If you're going to be led by the spirit, you've got to be open.

You got to be flexible.
